Page 6 of 11
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they
comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation.
Hygiene
Wash
Clean water should always be readily available for skin and (emergency) eye washing.
Periodically wash areas contacted by Portland Cement with a pH neutral soap and clean,
uncontaminated water. If clothing becomes saturated with Portland Cement, garments should
be removed and replaced with clean, dry clothing.
Remove protective equipment and saturated clothing before entering eating areas.
PPE
Eye/face protection:
To prevent eye contact, wear safety glasses with side shields, safety goggles or face shields
when handling dust or wet cement. Wearing contact lenses when working with cement is not
recommended.
Hand protection:
Use impervious, waterproof, and alkali-resistant gloves. Do not rely on barrier creams in place
of impervious gloves. Do not get Portland Cement inside gloves. Recommended material:
Nitrile®
Body protection:
Use impervious, waterproof, abrasion and alkali-resistant boots and protective long-sleeved
and long- legged clothing to protect the skin from contact with wet Portland Cement. To
reduce foot and ankle exposure, wear impervious boots that are high enough to prevent
Portland Cement from getting inside them. Do not get Portland Cement inside boots, shoes,
or gloves. Remove clothing and protective equipment that becomes saturated with cement
and immediately wash exposed areas of the body.
Other skin protection:
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based
on the task being performed and the risks involved. Footwear and other gear to protect the
skin should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection:
Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or

Section 10. Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity:
Reacts slowly with water forming hydrated compounds, releasing heat and producing a strong
alkaline solution until reaction is substantially complete.
Chemical stability:
The product is stable.
Possibility of hazardous reactions:
Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur.
Conditions to avoid:
No specific data.
Incompatible materials:
Reactive or incompatible with the following materials: oxidizing materials, acids, aluminum
and ammonium salt. Portland Cement is highly alkaline and will react with acids to produce a
violent, heat-generating reaction. Toxic gases or vapors may be given off depending on the
acid involved. Reacts with acids, aluminum metals and ammonium salts. Aluminum powder
and other alkali and alkaline earth elements will react in wet mortar or concrete, liberating
hydrogen gas. Limestone ignites on contact with fluorine and is incompatible with acids,
alum, ammonium salts, and magnesium. Silica reacts violently with powerful oxidizing agents
such as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, manganese trifluoride, and oxygen
difluoride yielding possible fire and/or explosions. Silicates dissolve readily in hydrofluoric
acid producing a corrosive gas — silicon tetrafluoride.
Hazardous decomposition products: Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should not be
produced.
